GhostBSD 10.1 Now In Alpha For A FreeBSD-Powered MATE Desktop

The first alpha release of GhostBSD 10.1 is now available, which is based on PC-BSD and FreeBSD. This BSD operating system also desires to deliver a first-rate desktop experience while setting it apart is the use of the GNOME2-forked MATE desktop environment by default.

GhostBSD 10.1 is based on PC-BSD/FreeBSD 10.1, hence the version number, and a big jump compared to GhostBSD 4.0 being its build of FreeBSD 10.0. GhostBSD 10.1 Alpha replaces the GDM display manager with PCDM, switches to Networkmgr rather than Wifimgr, offers a beta version of Update Station, boasts significant installation improvements, and various other changes beyond the package (and kernel) updates between FreeBSD 10.0 and 10.1.
